Odin Town, Future Daughter-in-Law Cai'er

Dragon Control Pass.

Inside the Knight Temple.

At this moment, dawn was gradually breaking, and a ray of brilliant sunlight descended upon the Knight Temple. It was the first light of dawn, shining through the window onto Long Xingyu's face.

At that moment, Long Xingyu slowly opened his eyes. A night's cultivation had not only improved his cultivation, but had also completely swept away the exhaustion from his body.

After finishing his cultivation, Long Xingyu opened his system panel.

Host: Long Xingyu.

Identity: Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial, Knight Temple Master, Vice Alliance Leader of the Temple Alliance.

Equipment Possessed: Godly Seal Throne of Doomsday and Slaughter Artifact, etc.

Innate Inner Spiritual Power: 78+ (Light's Blessing)

Inner Spiritual Power: 400310+ (Ninth-Tier Level Four Early-Stage Punishment Knight)

Outer Spiritual Power: 120000+ points.

"One day, an increase of three hundred spiritual power."

"So it truly is triple cultivation. This speed is indeed three times faster than my previous spiritual power gains."

Looking at the information on the system panel, Long Xingyu nodded. The calculation was quite clear.

Although Long Xingyu had indeed remained stuck for several years after reaching the peak of Ninth Tier Level Three, he still remembered that after surpassing 350,000 points of spiritual power, his progress had become an increase of one hundred points per day. Now that his daily cultivation had reached three hundred points, it was still within the normal range.

If he continued at this pace, he would soon enter Ninth Tier Level 5.

Although for Ninth-Tier professionals, the greatest difficulty in cultivation breakthroughs was not the accumulation of spiritual power, but the final step of breaking through the barrier.

With the buff from Perfect Cultivation, however, Long Xingyu only needed to accumulate spiritual power. Every subsequent bottleneck was practically nonexistent to him.

Long Xingyu was rather pleased with that.

If he wanted to unite the six major alliances into a single whole during the Temple Alliance Grand Competition five years from now, he needed absolute strength to succeed and to have a voice.

His current Ninth-Tier Level Four was already exceptional, but the Six Great Temples were not to be underestimated.

He had to reach Ninth Tier Level 5, or even Ninth Tier Level 6.

Only once they all had complete confidence in his strength could he truly succeed.

He could use the Knight Temple's might to force the matter through, after all, the Knight Temple was currently the strongest of the Six Great Temples, and Yang Haoyu, the strongest human, was there to serve as a deterrent.

But Long Xingyu did not want things to reach that point. The demon race had the Demon God Emperor and was an impregnable fortress. Humanity could only stand a chance by uniting!

After sorting through these matters, Long Xingyu slowly rose, opened the door, and headed toward the Knight Hall. His father, Long Tianyin, should have arrived after a day of travel.

Inside the Knight Hall.

Long Xingyu entered through the doors and soon saw an elderly man seated in the chief seat of the main hall. He wore moon-white armor, his gaze as vast as the starry sky, with white hair and beard framing his round face.

This round-faced old man bore a seventy-percent resemblance to Long Xingyu.

He was Long Xingyu's father, the owner of the Divine Seal Throne of Order and Law, the Godly Seal Knight of Control and Restraint, Long Tianyin!

Upon seeing Long Xingyu, Long Tianyin set down his teacup, rose to his feet, and walked straight over to him, carefully sensing the aura emanating from his body.

"Your injuries seem to have fully healed."

"As expected of my son, Long Tianyin's son. A mere Ninth-Tier Level Four threshold could never stop you."

Long Tianyin said with a smile.

Though he was smiling, there was a faint trace of awkwardness in his expression.

The relationship between the Long father and son had never been particularly good, and that was related to the Dragon Family Ancestral Edict: descendants were not allowed to enjoy the Dragon family's power and influence, and had to climb upward from the grassroots step by step.

This rule was precisely the key reason their father-son relationship had fractured.

After all, how could there be a good relationship when one lacked a father's love from childhood?

But Long Xingyu knew that Long Tianyin did care about him.

He simply did not know how to express it.

Once one became a Godly Seal Knight—especially a Punishment Godly Seal Knight—one had to take on the countless responsibilities of the Knight Temple and oversee them from the very moment one became the Knight Temple Master.

Long Tianyin had ambitions for strength and had directly given that up. Long Xingyu had silently taken it on, shouldering everything alone. It was precisely because of this that, after reaching Ninth Tier Level 2, Long Tianyin had made no further progress and remained stuck where he was.

Long Xingyu had seen all of this.

The emotions he once felt had long since faded, and there was no need to say anything more.

"Ninth-Tier Level Four is still far from enough."

Long Xingyu said this.

"You have broken through the great barrier. On the path of the Godly Seal, you have indeed walked ahead of me."

"It is a pity that you do not intend to take over. Otherwise, the position of First Temple Master would be best handed to you." Long Tianyin sighed.

Upon achieving a Godly Seal, one immediately became a Temple Master in the Knight Temple, though there was also a ranking among them.

At present, Long Xingyu was the Second Temple Master, Long Tianyin was the First Temple Master, and Yang Haohan was the Temple Alliance Leader, so he was not included in the ranking.

"This matter can be discussed another day." Having said this, Long Xingyu changed the subject. "For now, I'll leave the Knight Temple in your hands."

"Where are you going?" Long Tianyin asked in confusion.

"Odin Town. Yue'er is there," Long Xingyu replied.

"Bai Yue?" Long Tianyin froze for a moment, but he did not say much. Though he was a Control Knight, he had no intention of controlling his own son. Nor did he want his son to become like himself.

He then said, "Go and return quickly."

"Alright."

Although Odin Town was some distance from the Knight Temple, it was not a long journey for a Divine Seal Knight.

Ten days passed.

At dusk, Long Xingyu descended into the mountain forest above Odin Town.

"This is Odin Mountain." Long Xingyu looked at the forested mountain as he spoke.

Then, he prepared to head over and search for Bai Yue's whereabouts.

However, moments later, he sensed something and turned toward its direction.

"The aura of the Thousand Strike Spirit Furnace?"

"Could it be Hero No. 1?"

Having sensed this, Long Xingyu did not hesitate and immediately headed over.

Very soon, in a small grove, he saw a man dressed in an assassin's robe using the Thousand Strike Spirit Furnace to perform Thousand Strike Marrow Cleansing.

And the boy undergoing the marrow cleansing was unmistakably his own son, Long Haochen!

Beside Hero No. 1 stood a little girl in purple robes. She was staring blankly at the suffering Long Haochen, her tiny fists clenched tightly.

Long Xingyu knew that she was Cai'er, his future daughter-in-law.

And just as Long Xingyu had expected, after witnessing everything Long Haochen had done, Cai'er's eyes were now filled with nothing but him.

Ling Xin's daughter, Haochen's future wife, my future daughter-in-law.

Since Cai'er's heart already belonged entirely to Haochen, then as his future father-in-law, he had to step out and support him.

With that thought, Long Xingyu took a step forward.

The aura of the ninth rank silently spread out at that moment.
